Basketball culture had its golden times in the ‘80s and ‘90s with adidas playing an integral role in the scene, offering a range of impressive court footwear such as the popular Metro Attitude and Conductor. In 1986, the Rivalry was released as a very close relation to the Conductor and came in a huge array of color combinations. The original colorway paid tribute to one of New York City’s top basketball teams at the time, the reason every New York fan had to have their hands on a pair.

For Consortium, adidas Originals brings back the Rivalry Lo in a nostalgic move with two colorways: the iconic OG of white, blue and orange is matched up alongside rival Chicago team colors in black, red and white. The reissue is upgraded with the quality materials that Consortium is known for.

The adidas Originals Consortium Rivalry Lo Pack will only be available at No.6 London, No.74 Berlin and Consortium retailers from November 23, 2012.
